CCC(19) - HAZEL'S THEME - SOMETHING BEGINNING WITH 'S'

Good morning everyone - this is my latest card for our little Christmas Card Club - I should have posted it yesterday but it coincided with my OSAAT DT post and I don't like posting two cards on the same day - yup I'm odd! This fortnight it was Hazel's turn to choose a theme and she asked us to make a card with something beginning with 'S' on it. I have a lovely rubber stamp with a Santa Claus image but I just couldn't get it to look right, maybe 'cos it is fairly small, so I put my 'tries' aside to use at a later date. I had a trawl through my folder of what I call my 'Bought or Won' digis and came up with this one. I have a gorgeous pad of 'First Edition' papers with a Nordic feel to them and that was it - a match made on Planet Susie!!!

This is another fairly flat card so wonderful for posting! As usual the photo isn't picking up the glitter on the bottom of his jumper, the snow, the snowflake corner and the snowflake border. In real life it really does sparkle and shine - two more 'S's methinks!Ingredients7" x 7" Kraft card - Anna Marie DesignsNordic Christmas Paper Pad - First EditionChristmas Tree No 3 die - Dee's Distinctively DiesSnowflake Corner die - Memory Box DiesFrosty Border die - Memory Box DiesLarge Circle die - Spellbinders DiesLarge Petite Scalloped die - Spellbinders DiesChristmas Sentiment - LOTVGems - Papermania Star Dust SticklesI hope you like my Christmas card with the Nordic feel to it, I just love these papers so much.

Hi, Sue! Of all your card designs, I always enjoy your Christmas creations. They always possess a little something different which make my eyes so happy to see them. Great DPs with the white die cut around the circle! And your snowman is wonderful! xo

This one was well worth the extra day's wait! Love that Nordic paper - it looks like crosstitching to me. I have this Dee's tree die (I think!) and have never used it. It's so beautiful with your sweet snowman - and looks like you have shaped the top tree. So very pretty. Liked that delicate top snowflake border and the corner trim. Your glitter trim did show nicely when I enlarged the photo. This is a gorgeous card. TFS & Hugs

Oh my! LOOOOOOVE this card, Sue. Love everything about it. Those die-cut trees .... MUST have. All the little details on this are just perfect, simply awesome. The tapestry-like bg is gorgeous. So much to look and gawk at. Mr snowman is looking nice and cosy too.hugs, Asha

Well, this is day 3 of me writing a comment on this post, Maybe it will be third time lucky!! I really love your snowman in his super jumper and the papers are great. But that tree die is fabulous!!!!! Oh oh - I feel another spend coming on! Hugs Christine xx

About Me

I have been crafting since I was very small and started making my dolls clothes when I was 8. I have been married to my hubby for almost 49 years and even made my wedding dress and bridesmaid dresses. I still have the pattern - and the dress. We have had cats all our married life but we lost Ebony in January 2012 and Misty in February 2012. A huge feral cat used to own us but sadly, he died in August 2012. He was such a character for a feral cat and, even though we couldn't touch him, we knew he sort of liked us! We decided we wouldn't take on any more pets but in March 2013 a female cat and her 'husband' started living in the garden and despite being ignored they wouldn't leave so ... in short.... they both adopted us and they have now been neutered and chipped and once again we have fur babies! In 2015 an abandoned long haired puss adopted us and he's gorgeous! I will never know how they knew we would take them in - perhaps it's the large tattoo on our foreheads saying 'MUG'!! We wouldn't swap them for the world though.
